Read Any Good Movies Lately?
Posted by Brad Adrian in "CONTENT" @ 09:00 AM
One of the things I love the most about my Pocket PCs is how they can help me be productive or entertained when I'm out and about. So, I ALWAYS make sure that I've got a couple of e-books installed for those boring waits at the doctor's office, waiting for my wife to try on "just one more dress," etc.
Palm Digital Media has announced great prices on several of their hot movie-based e-books, and there are titles to interest everyone.
Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life: $5.39
Seabiscuit: An American Legend: $7.19
T2: The Future War: $9.60
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: $4.49
The Hulk: $6.29
Bulletproof Monk: $5.39
...and TONS of others! [How many e-books in a ton, anyway?]
Plus, if you're already a subscriber to their "frequent reader program," your prices may be even lower!
I don't want to turn this thread into another rant about DRM or how the whole Microsoft Reader activation debacle has ruined Ed's life, but in my opinion, there is NO better source for e-books than Palm Digital Media and there is NO more sensible scheme for obtaining legal licenses for those books. Although I sometimes have difficulty advocating anything with the word "Palm" in it, I have to make an exception in this case.
Like most sources for e-books, Palm Digital Media (a.k.a "Peanut Press") doesn't always have every title I look for. But they've got the best selection I've seen anywhere, and the reader software is absolutely free (and works like a charm). So, if you like e-books and are looking for the latest titles, swallow any Pocket PC bigotry you might have and visit this site with the "ugly" name.
